---- Chapter 5 Ethan's POV The first month after Tyler was gone, Ethan nearly lost it. He couldn't work. Took a long leave from the hospital. Every day, he was at Tyler's grave, just kneeling there. He dreamed about Tyler every single night. He'd dream Tyler was burning up, calling out "Dad," while he was off at some amusement park with Isabella and Emma, having a blast.

Truth was, he was out drinking with colleagues or at some work thing. Even on nights with no surgeries, he didn't want to go home early, didn't want to play with those toys Tyler loved that he found so boring. "Every time Tyler asked, 'Why isn't Daddy home?'
